Can You Love Me

"It doesn't take a genius to figure something like that out Erin." I smiled lazily, rolling my eyes.

"Why are you always such a smart ass, Melanie?"
He turned around, ready to end this conversation.

"Wait!" I called out to him before he got too far.

Erin turned around, one eyebrow raised. Waiting for me to continue.

"So... do you?" I asked almost hopeful that he just said yes. But the look in his eyes changed, just like that.

"Does it really matter?!" He yelled. " Does it?!" He asked one more time, as he stared me down.

I wanted to respond! Why does he always act like this. Every fucking time!!

"You know what, maybe it doesn't ." I scoffed as I turned my back to him and went back into my apartment.
